The Preceptor Queue displays a list of visits for residents assigned to you from the BICS coverage system. It is intended to be used as a tool to help you manage your precepting workflow.
This list displays the date of visit, patient name/medical record number, resident name, payor, and level of visit (CPT). It also indicates whether a resident note (R) or preceptor note (P) exists for that visit date.
A note is required for a visit if the Payor column includes an initial asterisk. When a resident note exists, you can review it by clicking the Y in the resident column. Once you approve a note, that visit is removed from your list.
Note: You can sort this list to keep together all visits that have resident notes. Do so by clicking the R column.
Resident notes are auto-approved (and are removed from this list) after 21 days if either:
the resident note doesn't require your approval
the visit has both resident and preceptor notes
To move visits incorrectly placed in your queue, select the line and click Move or Remove.
To run a report, click View Report and select a date range. The report shows the total number of visits, visits with resident notes, visits with preceptor notes, as well as visits with both. The report separates totals for managed care visits and nonmanaged care visits.
